last night there is backout (few second) at my home, so my pc off and on again.. at first my pc hav some problem to boot, not detect the HDD. i try twice and still cannot boot.. after some time i let it off and switch on again, luckily it boot like normal again.. but it maybe a sign for my HDD will die soon.....

Which model? 500GB?? I'm waiting for more 'Beta tester'....

lolz... actually TS should make in front post there stating which are how many hdds "successfully" updated firmware and how many hdds turned to bricks after using "latest firmware"

from seagate forum , those bricked hdd are back in business with the newest firmware..so this time i think seagate done their homework

Zzz
Anymore respond on this new firmware pls !!!

my seagate Barracuda 7.11 750GB HDD spoiled after 5month i use it.
it start making "tik tik" sound. restart pc..BIOS n Windows can't detect. run chkdsk..got bad sector pelik betul.
sent to RMA, got it back after 2 weeks, now using it back.
the prob now is, when i restart my pc..BIOS will run chkdsk on my Seagate HDD. i also dunno why..

Also works here, with my SD15 500GB SATA HDD. Now waiting for the 320GB version.

Before:-


After:-

They better be. Once bitten twice shy. Twice bitten sure to die!!!

is this same with the second version? i already flashed mine n it succeed. do i need to reflash to this latest version?

The second version works with 1TB drives but will brick 500GB drives. Probably no need to flash yours.

the new SD1A since it was working.

Better flash, since this latest firmware seems to have unbricked everyone's HDD at Seagate's forum. And report back your results, soldier.

MY bad~*looked at the wrong model >_>

this firmware can be use on my HDD oso?

The SD1A version I mean, for SD15 drives.

ZOMG mine is ST3500320AS with the AD15 firmware.

Failed me once, majority of my data got corrupted and have trouble reading the drive. RMA once now everything normal, so far but I fear it will act up again. Should I flash?
